Missouri River near Platte River mouth — Patrick Gass: July 20, 1804
The expedition passed banks along the south side of the river and noted a creek called the Water-which-cries, or Weeping Stream, which flowed in opposite a willow island. The party made camp for the night on a prairie on the south side of the river. Gass's brief entry for this day records only these geographic features and the campsite location, without mention of weather, wildlife, or interactions with people along the route.
